Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

i don't self-host yet, but i have an old pc in my house, i just need to bring it with me to colege, so i can learn and start self-hosting

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have a MediaWiki instance on my laptop (I've found the features of all other wikis/mindmaps/knowledge databases decisively insufficient after having a taste of MW templates, Semantic MediaWiki and Scribunto).

Also some smaller things like pihole-standalone, Jellyfin and dictd.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Curious what you use a local version of MediaWiki for?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I've got a couple VPSes, hosting

  • Mailcow, because email is identity.
  • Asterisk, because phone #s are also identity.
  • Matrix-Synapse, for personal messaging even though XMPP is probably better.
  • ttrss, even though it's junk software with a jerk developer.
  • A bunch of self-developed web apps

Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it's also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that's still broadly accepted.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Have you tried FreshRSS for feeds ? I'm pretty happy with it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hi, could you detail how you utilise Asterisk?

Hi

I started self hosting 3 years ago when I got wind of tailscale. I've always cared about privacy and building things so that was great.

My infrastructure consists of two machines.

One - my personal and work server A deskmini i3 12th gen

256GB Boot drive 4TB NVME data drive

-photoprism -syncthing -nextcloud -Firefox+VPN -archivebox

Two - my media server that I let 6ish other people access - PC tower i3 12th gen

512GB Boot and docker config file drive 4*4TB HDD mergerfs for raw data

-jellyfin -*arr suite -gluetun VPN -audiobookshelf (also for auto downloading podcasts) -calibre-web

Starting to fall down the rabbit hole of self hosting,

Unraid, Plex & Pihole. Next project is Opnsense, then starting to look at Home Assistant.

I'm running a Kubernetes cluster on the Dell hardware, then another single node k8s cluster on the Lenovo, mostly to run Adguard home / DNS in case the big cluster goes down for whatever reason.

Hardware:

  • Two Dell r610s, each with 12 cores and 96 GB of RAM, running ESXi 6.7
  • Lenovo M900, 4 core, 16 GB RAM, Ubuntu and k3s
  • Synology 1515 with 12 TB usable
  • Synology 1517 with 32 TB usable
  • Juniper SRX 220H (Firewall)
  • Juniper EX 2200 48 port switch
  • UnFi in-wall WiFi APs

I run the following services, all in Kubernetes, with FluxCD doing GitOps from a repo in GitHub (for now, might move to Gitea later):

  • Authentik
  • Bookstack
  • Calibre
  • Flame (Homepage)
  • Frigate NVR
  • Home Assistant
  • Memos
  • Monica
  • Plex
  • Prowlarr
  • Radarr
  • Rocket Chat
  • Sonarr
  • Tandoor
  • Tautulli
  • Unifi
  • UptimeKuma
  • VS Code
  • Zigbee2MQTT

What are the benefits of Kubernetes in a home server?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Since I'm moving very soon I'm also redoing everything, so this more of a "soon-to-be" than a current, but I will have:

3x ryzen 5600 w/ 32gb of ECC ram, 10gb network and some enterprise disks 1x mikrotik switch 1x mikrotik router

And I will host, using Kubernetes (Talos OS):

  • ceph
  • owncloud infinite scale
  • Immich
  • Jellyfin
  • Homeassistant
  • Hashicorp vault
  • Oneuptime
  • gitea
  • plane
  • actual (finance software)
  • probably forgetting some stuff
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you find actual? I couldn't really get to grips with it. Although it certainly seemed sleeker than Firefly III.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

It's pretty good and it's the only open source solution that managed to import transactions from bank statements with few mistakes. but my problem is always to solve conflicts. And I'm always coming back to simple spreadsheets as i can plan some things, do projections with more control.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I host one of the worlds last gopher sites. And some Telegram bots, on Raspberry Pi's.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, is Gopher still a thing?

I host:

  • docker-mailserver
  • code-server
  • Vaultwarden
  • Flame Dashboard
  • FreePad
  • Gotify
  • Nextcloud
  • Baikal
  • Mosquitto
  • HomeAssistant
  • Node-RED
  • InfluxDB
  • Grafana
  • piHole, Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS client
  • Uptime Kuma
  • Nginx Proxy Manager
  • wg-easy
  • Shiori
  • MeTube
  • Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, Unpackerr,...
  • qBittorrent, Gluetun
  • Jellyfin
  • Watchtower
  • Honeygain, Pawns App, Peer2Profit, Traffmonetizer
  • 4 Websites via Nginx
  • a few services that I wrote myself

I think that should be it. I left out some less important ones and probably forgot a few that I don't use that often. All these services are spread across 2 servers at home and a small VPS mainly used for the mailserver and Uptime Kuma.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honeygain etc.... First time I hear about them. Do you mind sharing how much you get?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It really depends on the type of IP you have and your location, but it's really not much for me. From Honeygain I get like 20 bucks every 6 months and when paying out the money around 4$ get lost by transaction fees, but better than nothing and those services use so few resources, you don't even notice them running in the background.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you might want to check honeygain's network calls, because I had it running and then suddenly noticed my IP got banned on quite a few websites.

Turns out it was my honeygain traffic that caused it, I quickly uninstalled it after that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Which websites are you referring to? I never noticed any problems from the sites I use. Only when I encounter any kind of captcha I always have to manually select images and it will never solve itself like some did in the past. But not sure if thats due to me not being logged in with Google in my main browser or if it's caused by Honeygain.
